Can the BBL process be used strictly to shape an already big buttocks?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question not necessary to get crazy with cc, the surgeon in your case   just add in the areas that need to be rounded out properly.is recommended before to get surgery discuss all about your case.

Thank you for your question. Photos would've been helpful. Yes, you are right, it is not the size alone that creates an aesthetic buttock, but it is also the shape. What you describe is a "violin" deformity. The excess fat needs to be removed from the upper buttock/hip area, lower back fat pad and waist line, and fat transferred into the depressed areas to create a rounded, shorter buttock. For best body hourglass body shape, I prefer liposuction 360 degrees.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Dear keefine90,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, fat transfer can be used in order to reshape the buttocks not only to increase the size.  If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Without photos or an exam, it is impossible to provide specific feedback to your question. You may need an inferior buttock lift, posterior lower body lift, and liposuction.  Consult with a board certified PS who is an expert in all three procedures.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Definitely yes!
Fat transfer, along with liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, hips, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

It is impossible to give you specific advice about realistic outcomes for you without at least seeing photos, but yes in general a big butt with a less attractive shape can be improved with a BBL. 

The purpose of a BBL is not just to add buttocks but also to contour them as well as contour the surrounding areas. You should consult with a Board Certified PS with lots of BBL experience. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. The BBL procedure is not a one size fits pall procedure. Everyone patient has a different desire and some patients body limits the ultimate result. I would tell you yes, this procedure can be used to contour an already large buttocks. Addition by subtraction is just as important to the end result as is adding fat. Many of our patients simply want a better contour without a significant size difference and this is commonly achievable. I hope this helps. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who performs this procedure in your area.

Without pictures or clinical exam, it’s impossible to say. That aside, you can improve overall aesthetics with well-placed fat injections without increasing the overall volume too much.  Find a surgeon who is well-versed in that procedure and does a lot of them including revision work.

A combination of liposuction and fat grafting (BBL) can be done to reshape the buttocks. So yes, what you are looking for is absolutely possible.If you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
